The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s look at what’s coming up for Jaconé. The next few days are a bit of a mixed bag, but we’ve got some real gems on the horizon, so hang in there.
First up, Tuesday the 21st of July, we’ve got a clean 4 ft swell from the east. The wind is a cross-offshore breeze, so the waves are looking tidy. It’s a modest start, but the water is a normal 72° for the time of year, so it’s comfortable. The combined energy is weak at 221, so it’s not a powerhouse, but it’s a nice, clean intro.
Wednesday the 22nd of July picks up a bit. The morning brings a 6 ft easterly swell with a light cross-off wind, and the energy jumps to a moderate 444. The afternoon drops to 4 ft but stays clean. This is a solid, consistent day for an intermediate surfer.
Thursday the 23rd and Friday the 24th of July are a write-off. Onshore winds and poor conditions mean you’re better off doing something else. There’s about a two-day gap here with no surf worth paddling for.
Then, Saturday the 25th of July is a standout. The morning has a 5 ft southerly swell under glassy conditions – that’s a major positive. The afternoon gets even better: 5 ft from the south, still glassy, with a moderate wave energy of 512. This is clean, lined-up, and perfect for a long session. The wind is so light it’s like glass. This is the best on offer in the first week.
Sunday the 26th of July gets messy again with onshore winds, so don’t get your hopes up. But Monday the 27th of July morning is back to clean with a 4 ft southerly swell, a long 12-second period, and strong energy at 519. That long period means better shaped waves and easier paddling, but at a beach break it might be a little straight. Still, it’s very good.
The following week starts to look promising. The 1st of August (Saturday) is a true standout. The morning brings a 7 ft southerly swell, glassy conditions, and massive energy at 1442 – that’s strong to very strong. The afternoon holds 6 ft with clean cross-off wind. This is expert-level stuff; over 8 ft would be too much for most, but 7 ft is a power session for experienced surfers. The 2nd of August (Sunday) is also excellent, with a 5 ft morning and 6 ft afternoon, both from the south-southeast with long periods up to 14 seconds and energy well over 1000. That’s a serious groundswell.
The 3rd of August (Monday) morning is still very good, but the afternoon turns poor with onshore winds. After that, the 4th and 5th of August are marginal to okay, with clean conditions in the morning but onshore winds later. The long-range outlook is promising but less certain, so keep an eye on it.
Summing it up: the 25th of July and the 1st/2nd of August are your best bets. The 25th is clean and glassy for all levels, and the 1st is a powerful, expert-only punch. Crowds are sometimes possible at Jaconé, so it won’t be empty, but it’s worth it.
Stay stoked,
Rusty

Information about the Jaconé Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Jaconé provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Jaconé can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Jaconé surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Jaconé) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Jaconé may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
Jacone is 14 km (9 miles) from the city of Saquarema. If you plan a holiday in Rio de Janeiro, look for hotels and other accommodation in Saquarema. Saquarema has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
